Abstract

Honey is known to have potential as an alternative treatment for wound infections caused by bacteria. This study aimed to evaluate honey's antimicrobial activity against Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in vitro. Methodology: The antibacterial activity test of honey was conducted using the disc diffusion method. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc tests. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction of Linot honey exhibited the highest inhibition zones against Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli; 25.64±0.20 mm and 25.07±0.05 mm, respectively. This study indicates that the ethyl acetate fraction of Linot honey possesses high antibacterial activity against these bacteria in vitro. Conclusion: This research supports using Linot honey as an alternative treatment for skin infections caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.
